Levels of Body Organization and Body Systems Practice Test

How do the circulatory system and immune system work together to respond to an injury?

• Increased blood flow kills healthy cells which prevents infection at the site of the injury.

• Increased blood flow removes infected cells from the body at the site of the injury.

• Increased blood flow carries white blood cells to the site of the injury.

• Increased blood flow allows for an increase in the exchange of O2 and CO2 at the site of the injury.

Which two body systems must directly interact for vertebrate organisms to exchange gases?

• Skeletal system and muscular system

• Excretory system and reproductive system

• Circulatory system and respiratory system

• Digestive system and immune system

• Respiratory system

• Circulatory system

• Muscular system

• Nervous system

Which of the following functions at the same organizational level as the kidney in the human excretory system?

• Urinary bladder

• A squamous cell

What two human systems work together to provide body cells with a constant supply of oxygen while removing carbon dioxide waste products?

• Nervous and endocrine

• Muscular and skeletal

• Respiratory and circulatory

• Excretory and integumentary

When a person is suddenly cut by a sharp object, a nervous impulse is sent along a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. The impulse is immediately transmitted through motor neurons to produce a response. Which of the following correctly identifies and describes this response?

• It is a conditioned response that occurs only to prevent injury

• It is a learned response that does not occur in infants and small children

• It is a reflex response that causes various muscles to contract in order to move away from the object

• It is a voluntary response that is initiated only after the impulse has been carried to the relevant area in the brain

Which of the following is the correct order of organization in living things from most basic (simple) to most complex?

• a.  Organism, cell, tissue, organ, organ system
• a.  Organ system, organ, tissue, cell, organism
• a.  Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
• a.  Cell, organ, tissue, organ, organism, organ system
